which keys on your keyboard are most worn?

[NoDaddyNo]

I'm feeling a bit Dusty(2)-like today I guess.

I looked down at my laptop and noticed that the "M" and the "N" symbols on those keys are starting to wear off my keyboard.

I suppose it is because I'm always typing mmmmmmmmnnnnnnnn.

Do you have keys wearing away?

The upper left side (Caps Lock, Tab, and especially Q) are covered in some sort of nasty grundge that is likely nearly entirely made of my dead skin cells. I hope its mine.

I've always wondered why my backspace key is so damn small.

 

[NoDaddyNo]

the 'a', 's','d' I think because my left hand is always on the keyboard when I use the mouse.

also there is a big long button on the button with no sign of a letter, but I can't remmember what it used to say.

I think it used to say "ANY KEY".

And AAP - I purposely choose my laptops based on the keyboards - this current one is great. I refuse to use keyboards that have shitty backspace keys like what you are talking about.

On a regular computer, I have to have an ergonomic keyboard - I like the bigger buttons.

It makes up for my microscopic genitalia.

My "delete porn" key is entirely vanished.

delete, enter, shift

Alt and Tab...

From all the rapid screen-switching when I'm screwing around on the internet at work..

You not only care, but find that very interesting. You are welcome.

r t l s n e sometimes y

is this from constantly typing "relentlessly"?

I'm curious how much of it is from use and how much of it is just chance at the material not being applied as well in certain areas.
(or even added heat due to a heat source under that spot in the keyboard)

Looking at mine, it appears the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys are the most worn out.

I forget the last time I looked at the keyboard.

No real wear or tear on any of these hear.

No, actually its from "Wheel of fortune". In the old days of the show, you picked all the letters, five consonants and one vowel. But everybody picked r t l s n and e because I guess theyre so common. Because it got predictable, they changed the format. Now, everyone automatically gets r t l s n e, and they pick a few more. But seriously, if your keyboard is that ragged out, the only letters it should spell is c, h, e, a and p, because you are too cheap to replace a $10 keyboard once every five years!

I haven't watched Wheel of Fortune in ages - I think I was like 12 last time I saw it.

As for me being a jew, I wish.

This laptop might be two years old, but I don't think so - maybe not even a year.

No wear on the KB, but I go thru a lot of mice.. I don't type much
outside of EF. Mostly reviewing Docs, editing etc and running meeting.

Right now I have a MS Optical and love it's lack of Balls..

Dont mean to hijack this thread, but you can get a Thai ladyboy with no balls for about 400 Baht at the Eden Club.

He can, but he prefers to come with his (deleted) in your (deleted).

 

[strangebrew]

I dont have any worn out keys, but I do have lots of crumbs and old milk stuck between them.

 

[tiger88]

fucking space bar is getting his ass kicked.....the color of the key (black ) is fading

I'm wondering where the heat is coming from, but is this only for the laptops?

 

[discussion]

the "~" key

 

[Dial_tone]

The home row keys - asdf jklo. I recently took all the keys off to soak and scrub them with a toothbrush....looks brand new now.
